Coloring tips

  • Shade the main color (#E25B5B) with the shadow color (#4A4040): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
  • Keep the background (#FDF8EE) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
  • Use the accent (#F5D06A) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
  • Blend the detail color (#8DBF6A) into the accent (#F5D06A) for a soft transition.
  • Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
